What a difference a space makes

On the CRA website, the search box can lead to all the right information, or you can completely miss the object of your search.

Two examples...

P 113 or P113 you'll find P113 - Gifts and Income Tax

P 113r you'll find is P-113R Whether an individual can claim an employee and partner GST/HST rebate for automobile expenses where the individual has received an allowance

Same with GST 370 -

Leave a space, GST 370 will get you CRA Quarterly Financial reports

GST370 (no space) brings up T4044 Employment Expenses guide, including GST370 Employee and Partner GST/HST Rebate Application

Adding a space or leaving one a space out can lead to completely different search results.

Try it for yourself...

Most other search engines these days will ask you... did you mean... but not CRA.

Someone told me recently that sometimes it's better to use Google Search Engine to find things on the CRA website and sure enough GST 370 brings up the form I want as well as a GST/HSt guide RC4091, which didn't come up when I searched GST370 on the CRA site.
